So what, she gets fired in a shady way and then is supposed to wait till after the IPO when she’s lost leverage so she doesn’t upset their payday? If it was you would you have waited until after the IPO? Either way, I’d say she has more credibility than a lot of the other executives. She has a...

For all you know she came prepared with figures and examples from other launches she was part of and then got cut out of future meetings because she pointed out uncomfortable truths. Why is everyone so quick to assume that this executive was incompetent? I have a few ideas that have very much...

That’s exactly it. This is supply and demand gerrymandering where they are selecting for the customers they want. Does Rivian want customers who can barely afford an absolutely base truck and will never buy any of the add ins and software widgets? Absolutely not. They want people who can pay...

In the most cynical part about of my brain I’m thinking something similar. I’m wondering if there’s enough demand at that price to keep the company afloat? Boy there’s a bunch of folks on the lightning forum who cancelled their order and put a deposit on a rivian when they saw the official...

Remember when Laura Schwab (toxic boys club lawsuit) was listing examples of advice she gave that was ignored by the higher ups? One of those pieces of advice was: we can’t afford to sell these vehicles at this price. “Time and time again, I raised concerns regarding vehicle pricing and...

Getting a new vehicle every 3-5 years is a ridiculous extravagance. I thought the whole point of BEV’s was to lessen our environmental impact while still having a functional vehicle (that also happens to have a bunch of other advantages over ICE)? The level of consumerism in this country has...

Totally agree. it’s important to have a broad range of viewpoints from the totally onboard to the skeptical (as long as they are supported by more than a gut reaction). I don’t want to let my excitement and anticipation cause me to make a huge financial mistake. I typically waffle back and...

Thanks. Not trying to be negative here. I want Rivian to succeed, I want all EV’s to succeed. On paper the R1T is perfect for my uses. I’m nervous about spending this kind of money on an unproven product, as any person who isn’t exceedingly wealthy should be. People seem to want to...

I agree, and any one of the recent developments wouldn’t be a deal breaker for me. It’s the combination of lack of communication, the revelation that they expect to nickel and dime us with subscriptions, the endless delays, the fact that Lucid is confident making some of its earliest...

As icky as the main thrust of her complaints are, I find the comments concerning underpricing, reliability, safety and misleading delivery schedule to be particularly worrisome. Combining this info with the lack of communications, slipping delivery dates, fire, etc has me definitively out of...

I hadn’t thought of it like that. I’ll literally never have to touch a gas pump again or stand there breathing in the fumes for 5 minutes. thanks for the perspective.

The good news is we already travel in gear (except in spring) minus the boots so we can get on the slopes ASAP. Maybe this is just too early to transition to BEV’s for my use case. I’ve got time to figure it out, hopefully there’ll be some 500 mile options in the pipeline or better battery...

Yeah I hope Rivian is going to solve some of these issues, it’s just a ton of money on the line. I’m sure there are chargers on the way to nearly every place I’d go but the family is used to straight shots for these trips and the wife is already highly skeptical of the costs of an EV so it...

I knew there would be cold weather range decreases, but 40% has me questioning not just my R1T preorder but this whole generation of EV’s. Where we live (central NH) it will be below freezing from mid November to mid April and 20 or below for at least 2 months in mid winter. We even had a year...
